To solve the equation \(3m + 72 = -2m + 52\), follow these steps:
First, add \(2m\) to both sides to combine like terms: \[ 3m + 2m + 72 = 52 \] This simplifies to: \[ 5m + 72 = 52 \]
Next, subtract 72 from both sides: \[ 5m = 52 - 72 \] This simplifies to: \[ 5m = -20 \]
Finally, divide both sides by 5 to solve for \(m\): \[ m = -4 \]
So, the solution is: \[ m = -4 \]
You can drag and drop the response \(-4\) into the box.
The answer is:
m = -4
You can drag and drop this response into the response area.
Based on the equation \(3m + 72 = -2m + 52\) that was solved, the correct solution is:
m = -4
However, since -4 is not listed among your options (a), (b), (c), or (d), it seems that none of the choices are correct for the equation provided.
If you need help with a different problem or need to verify the answers, please let me know!
Since the correct answer of \(m = -4\) is not among the options provided, I would choose the closest value based on the context of the answers given.
The least negative option is (b) -1/5.
However, please note that it does not accurately reflect the solution to the original equation, but it's the most sensible option among the choices available.
